The things that get in the way for me are: getting instantly bored with any weight loss strategy, an inability to do things if I’m told I have to, forgetting that I need to lose weight, needing the sensory input of food, inability to recognise when I’m full, hyper-focusing on weight loss for a month and losing a ton of weight and then putting it all back on the next month because I celebrated the weight loss with cake…
I just wonder if there are any ADHD behaviour hacks where I could use my neurospicyness to actually help me lose weight consistently.
My best shape as an adult was when I was running 12k 3x a week. I felt amazing. Since then I had a bad ankle sprain (at work, funnily enough, not related to running at all) and haven’t recovered properly enough to get back to running, though I still hope to.
I remember reading once that Michael Phelps would eat something like 12000 calories per day during training. That’s far more than I’ve ever eaten in one day, even at my heaviest. I probably haven’t even eaten half that much in one day.
